Living Valley Springs Day 1

Hey hey... we're here:)
I was so sensible and committed that I even turned down my free lolly on the Air NZ flight:)
Living Valley Springs is a 2 hour drive from Brisbane and we had to wind the clock back a couple of hours:)

So what learning have I made today... my first big moment was reading my personal programme and finding out I have 2 of these booked this week...

Colonic Hydrotherapy

The health of the body is greatly determined by the cleanliness of the colon and the practise of Colonic Hydrotherapy is the fastest way to clean and detoxify the colon.

At Living Valley Springs you will experience the Chevallum method of colonic hydrotherapy that involves a qualified therapist flushing the colon with water a number of times while the therapist applies gentle external massage over the stomach area above the colon to help extradite trapped toxins.

The wash not only helps to break up any old fecal matter, which can be trapped for significant time, but it also aids in strengthening and toning the bowel. The colon also has an incredible ability to absorb water as well as herbs and so you may also enjoy a special herbal mixture to stimulate and strengthen organs in the body.

So yikes...

We have also learned some interesting points about the way we should eat and drink.

No drink a half hour before and up to an hour and a half after dinner, this is to allow the digestive system to do its thing.

Big breakfast, medium lunch and a smaller dinner.

LVS operates around the 8 laws of health using the acronym NEW START

Trust in a purpose for you in life... I would call this Faith.

My other favourite moment was our steam bath...

We went up to the steam room... hope in this incredibly hot room for 10min, out for a cold shower, back in the heat for 7, under the cold, back in the heat for 5, and back under the cold...

Now this helps to draw out toxins...I was not much of a man, the heat I can cope with (but vomited twice afterwards) but cold water on me...yikes! If I ever have a heart attack, chuck cold water on me!

Tomorrow I'm off to see the head Naturopath to discuss a programme for me, as well as someone who is excellent on back issues.

Jo is excited about the 6:15am walk tomorrow...hmmm must have a positive attitude!

So very excited:) good group of people...I have wifi:) My only complaint would be our tiny room:) Not a biggy...Had some great feedback today from yesterdays blog...thanks!
